The past couple of years, the amount of kids out on Halloween has dwindled down in my neighborhood. This year, my wife and I were at her cousin’s house and we saw maybe a couple of kids walking around. My wife blames people going to Trunk or Treat things. We both work in retail, so we see more of the public, and nobody was in costume. What was everybody’s experience with Halloween this year?
For years we’ve had almost no trick-or-treaters come to our house. We know there are tons in the area, but the number who actually stopped at our house kept dropping.
Last year it was warm enough on Halloween for us to leave the front door open, and we saw tons of kids walk past our house and heard one kid say, “That’s the creepy house.”
Which is ridiculous. There’s nothing creepy at all about our house.
Anyway, last year I decided I should make a sign to let the kids know they could stop at our house.
I made a post about the sign.
Anyway, the sign worked. We had double-digit trick-or-treaters this year.
Creepy houses are exactly where you should go on Halloween. Damn kids only caring about candy and not the spirit of the holiday!
Had only one kid actually say “trick or treat!” when we came to the door, the rest just looked straight a the bowl, grabbed a handful and left, of those only some said thank you while most just walked away. Never seen so many seemingly unappreciative kids like I’ve seen this year.
your house is cool af. I wish I had a house like that. I live in a bland box. sometimes I think about moving just to be in something that has some fucking character, I find this house so awkwardly laid out
